  • Pick Your Own Treatment Adventure
    May 1 2026

    This week’s Derms on Drugs is a 6-pack that covers a little bit of everything and somehow lands on: just do what you want. From a randomized trial showing eczema doesn’t care how often you shower to wild dupilumab data—plus a heating pad “treatment” that might actually work and a new JAK/TYK2 raising eyebrows—this one is equal parts useful, questionable, and predictably unpredictable.

  • Regenerative Derm: Baloney or Breakthrough?
    Apr 24 2026

    Feeling a little worn down by Friday? A bit… degenerated, perhaps? This week’s Derms on Drugs goes off the beaten path and into the world of regenerative dermatology, where the line between legit science and “sounds like a scam” gets… blurry. With guest Dr. Amanda Hill, the team tackles hormones, skin aging, and whether we’re actually regenerating tissue—or just getting better at marketing it. From estrogen myths (and what we got very wrong) to PRP, exosomes, and the truth about “bioidentical” everything, this one separates hype from what might actually matter—and calls out a lot of nonsense along the way.

  • When the Data Get Personal
    Apr 17 2026

    This week’s Derms on Drugs 6-pack moves past theory and into real decisions—what actually helps you pick the rightdrug for the patient in front of you. From gene expression profiling that predicts JAK vs Th2 response to the growing concern around dupilumab and CTCL, and more, this episode separates signal from noise—and gives you a few things you won’t forget (looking at you, abscopal effect).
